About

Ghosts

Features
Read full description

Ghosts is a haunted radio: an instrument that plays the world's airwaves and lets you keep the moments worth keeping. Tune a live station. There are thousands of real broadcasters from every corner of the planet, and you can step through them, search for them, or land on one at random. The signal plate is always listening to the last 30 seconds of the air. When something good happens, press CATCH and it becomes a ghost: a loop that plays forever, layered under the radio, ready to be shaped. A phrase, a chord, a voice, a burst of static. If you heard it, you can keep it. WHY YOU'LL KEEP COMING BACK • A dial with thousands of stations: community radio, college radio, shortwave-style oddities, dead air and all. Step, search the directory, or hit RND and see where you land. • Catch with one press, or frame an exact slice of the air: anything from a single syllable to twenty seconds. • Up to 24 ghosts loop at once, each with its own strip on the mix console: fader, mute, solo. • Shape every ghost in the editor. Pitch it down to a moan, trim the loop to a single syllable, reverse it, wear it down with tape damage, crush, wow and flutter. • A master chain tuned for the aesthetic: space, warble, a valve limiter. The whole mix comes out sounding like a broadcast from somewhere that doesn't exist. • Record takes of your full mix and share them anywhere. Save sessions and return to a roster of ghosts exactly as you left it. • Lock-screen controls and background playback. It's a radio, so it behaves like one. NO STRINGS No account. No analytics. No ads. Nothing collected. Your ghosts, sessions, and recordings live on your device and nowhere else. The radio comes from the community-run radio-browser.info directory; recording requires your own material in the mix, because Ghosts is an instrument, not a stream ripper. Somewhere on the dial, right now, something is happening that will never happen again. Catch it.
